A ping pong ball with a mass of 2.20 grams rolls along a frictionless table with a velocity of 0.850 m/s. what is the momentum of the ping pong ball?1.87 g m/s2.59 g m/s1.59 g m/s3.04 g m/s
Answer: The momentum of the ball is 1.87 g m/s.
Explanation:
Momentum of an object is defined as the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object. Mathematically,
\(p=mv\)
where,
p = momentum of the ball = ? g m/s
m = mass of the ball = 2.20 grams
v = velocity of the ball = 0.850 m/s
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(p=2.20g\times 0.850m/s=1.87gm/s\)
Hence, the momentum of the ball is 1.87 g m/s.
